Presentation

The purpose of your text is for students, colleagues, journalists, and the general public to quickly get an idea of what you are working on and what they can ask you about. Express yourself clearly, concisely, and preferably in first person. Avoid wording like "Right now I'm researching..." - because it quickly becomes outdated.

Your researcher profile is automatically linked to DiVA at the University of Borås. Publications linked to your signature are connected to your researcher profile and the three most recent, in chronological order, are displayed in the publications list.

There is a function to display selected publications. Use this feature if you have publications you specifically want to display rather than, or in addition to the last three. Enter information in the last field (other information) which publications you want to highlight under the heading.

The publications that are not connected to DiVA at the University of Borås can be displayed using external links and are displayed under the heading External publications.
